I bought this book for my mom last Christmas. She read it in two days. She loved it and it made her respect Alan Jackson all the more.
Changed my life [Posted on 2008-06-04]
I cannot recommend this book enough for every woman. It truely changed my life. I read it in half a day, and think about it weekly. It truely taught me forgiveness and for those struggling with hurt and betrayal, who need a way to faithfully overcome the hurt and to forgive, this is an excellent book!
It's All About Her? [Posted on 2008-07-17]
First of all, I do not believe Denise and Alan Jackson were compatible from the very start of their relationship. Initially it was a physical attraction at best - more so on Alan's part. As time marched on in their marriage, they began to drift apart and then later fell apart due to Alan's infidelity.
I sensed that Denise would have liked to share more concerning Alan's unfaithfulness but showed great restraint in choosing not to cast him or his career in a bad light.
It was upsetting to me and countless others to see Denise blame herself for Alan's betrayal or trying to pull herself down to his level for a few impure thoughts she may have had back when - whenever.
Denise fought long and hard by exhausting every avenue to restore her relationship with Alan until finally surrendering it all to Christ, the Author and Finisher of Our Faith. I to have been there until I did exactly what Denise did in crying out to God to not only save my marriage but to save myself and by divine intervention, my marriage was spared. That was over 25 years ago and we are still going so very strong.
In all honesty, I do not think Denise would have fought so long and so vehemently to save her marriage if it were not for the extravagant and opulent lifestyle she had come to know and love, for herself and for their children. I appreciate Denise's honesty in making mention in her book before the fame and fortune she said, "I don't remember any woman chasing after you when you worked the second shift at the local K-Mart." I truly believe that Denise would have shown Alan to the door had it not been for all the wealth.
It is my hope that they will both stay on the straight and narrow path that leads to everlasting life and their children as well.
The scripture does say, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
Denise closed her book by quoting the passage, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him."
However, for the readers sake I would like to add the very next passage that states, "But God has revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God."
I'll close by sharing this thought, "It is Christ Himself who empowers us to forgive those who have violated our trust, all we need do is ask and by the Holy Spirit he will enable us to forgive all."
For a truly extraordinary story of love and redemption, check out D. W. Gutridge's "Captured by a Smile." You will not be disappointed.Captured by a Smile "Imprisoned by Love": A Memoir of Young Love that Refused to Die
Not What I expected [Posted on 2008-11-19]
This book started out very intriguing and I couldn't put it down.Being an Alan Jackson fan, I was interested in gaining some insight into his life. About halfway through it started to go down hill and toward the end all the talk about "God" made me feel like I was recieving a sermon.It was so difficult to read toward the end,as it was so BORING!!! Now I believe in "God", but there was way too much preaching going on in this book. I have lost a tremendous amount of respect for both Alan and Denise, and although they claim to be holyer than thou, they are nothing but materialistic celebrities. Save your money and get the Lynn Spears book instead.
Inspirational reading! [Posted on 2008-11-23]
I purchased this book because I am an Alan Jackson fan. I wanted to know what this talented man was really like (off the stage). I started reading this wonderful book, and I only put it down to sleep. The next morning, I couldn't wait to finish the book. Denise Jackson doesn't hold back about her life with a country superstar. I laughed about Alan's sense of humor, and I cried as I read about Denise's personal life as a daughter. Thank you, Denise Jackson, for writing this precious story. I appreciate your sharing your talented husband with all of his fans!
I highly recommend this book.
